  1. I am doing chuck. I cant wait to get home and be round my kids am missing them like mad. Because im in a hospital 25 miles away its hard for them to visit and when its a 50 mile roubd trip in a car its bloody expensive. Sorry no updates apart from iv jad a rough 3 days where iv been in allot of pain with my back which is due to hospital mattress so they swapped it for a full air mattress which is much nicer on my back because iv no meat left on me. Infact i bet the average 1/4 scale bipe is heavier then me haha. Got to look on the brightside and stay possitive and joke as much as possible because keeping your spirits high when in hospital with this condition is hard. I just feel sorry for the nurses because they all get it from me and at least 2 dish it back at me . The staff in st james's are fantastic i have to admit. But not half as nice as being around my kids. Thanks again to those who have donated and thanks to all those who have just left messages of kind words it all means allot to me.
  2. Thanks nigel and thanks daz. I lost my mum to cancer when i was 11 and it was my dad who got me into this hobby just before she died to try help occupy my mind from what was going off and to get me out of the house. He later died of cancer when j was 19. I lost one of my nannans to cancer and also an uncle and 2 aunts. Only one of my uncles is alive today and he is my mums brother and hes beaten it twice so sadly i new i would face it at some point just didnt think it would be so soon.
  3. Again i cannot express enough thanks to all and everyone who have. Left me such kind messages and also donations. Just a message gives me hope. I intend to not be beaten by cancer because i cannot afford to especialy when i have 3 kids and my first daughter only being 6 months old. I want to see her walk down the isle before i let cancer take me. In the last 3 days this thread has raised 1900 dollars for me and before that it took me nearly a month to raise 230 dollars. Im only 28 and have still yet to buy a mick reeves spit or a db sport and scale spit and fly it and that is my ambition of this hobby and target and has been since i was just a 12 year old school kid spending his dinner money on the way home from school at the local model shop on balsa. I have not flown for the last 3 years due to kids etc and recently returned to the hobby due to the illness and being unable to work. I have always loved spitfires and still intend to save and buy the kit and build it. Even if i dont complete it or fly it u will have at least reached my target of owning one. As for treatment. They fitted a stent into my stomach friday and its left me pretty sore and sickly due to the endoscopy. But upto now uts allowing me to now keep fluids down and hopefully as the stent expands it will allow soft foods to pass through also. I have been unable to eatbor drink for the last 11 months due to stomach cancer paralising the exit to my stomach making it impossible to eat and drink and keep it down without throwing it back up. Iv gone from 14st to 7st and had to he fed via a pipe in my side bypassing the stomach. I was on a liquid feed called freshubin extra whichbis a yogurt type liquid with all the nutrients etc in the body needs to keep it alive. However i have had nothing but issues and failed to put weight on so i mamaged to convince my surgeon to allow me to have the stent fitted. So for the last day or so my body has been adapting to this stent. Its like learning to eat again but fingers crossed i should put weight on now to necome physicaly stronger to fight. I have also been told i will be starting more chemo im just waiting for the oncologist to come and see me on the ward. Thanks again guys and i will keep you all updated on here daily if i can.
  4. Thanks guys and hey dave the mustang must fly again . I cant say than you enough to you all i really cant i just hope and pray i can beat this. Not for me or anyone but for my kids. Fingers crossed all will go well and fingers crossed i dont get knocked back when i apply for my passport. Im hoping i can raise close enough to the target and upto now it looks promising thats for sure . I will keep coming back and reading coments and replying its just im having to use my fone to do this and it isnt as easy as it is on the computer.
  5. Just seen the messages on the se5a thread and come here and seen these and all i can say is im gob smacked .i cant thank everyone enough i really cant. I dont know who donated the 1000 but im in shock. It was only at 215 dollars this morning till i posted it on the se5a thread. Im currantly in st james's leeds bexeley wing as an in patient after being rushed in over the weekend after becoming ill over christmass but was determined i was not being admitted to hospital til i had spent the christmass with my 18 month old son and 5 month old daughter incase its my last christmass. Anyway towards new year i thought i had picked up alittle and come last Sunday i got bad again. Low potassium due to constant vomiting and severely dehydrated as other low numbers in my blood. So currently on drips to get me back nice and stable again. I will keep you all posted on this thread to keep you all in the picture. The money being raised is to pay for passport and flight over and the rest is a start if they can offer treatment after they looked at my case. Ps ray over jn america who i will be staying with is also into his rc aircraft and has skills that are amazing. So i will be in good hands. Thanks again to everyone it means so much to me because i want to see me little lad get into this hobby because no doubt he will love it.
  6. Hey guys sorry for lack of replys. Im feeling more positive and aint going to give in without a fight. Mike im in hospital again at the minute so not sure whats at mine till i get back and thank you ever so much. I appreciate everyones support and looking into trying to raise funds to go to america for a second opinion. Problem is cost ect. Friends of mine over there setup a fund to help try raise money for me to go over for a while and go to there local cancer hospital i hope the mods on here dont mind but heres the link. Www.gofundme.com/brentpickering i have to fight this for my kids and considering its not spread to my major organs then i think i stand a chance its just nhs cut backs geting in the way. If anyone can share the link to there websites or about id greatly appreciate it. Edited By Brent on 08/01/2015 01:15:27 Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 08/01/2015 09:44:45
  7. Hi sorry for not being on in a while. I finished chemo mid november as planned. Went in for the op on 3rd of december. However the chemo has shrunk the cancer but when they opened me up they found it had not stopped it from spreading. Its now on my bowl and abdominal wall. At the minute i allot on my mind and forgot about this thread so i do appologise. I have been told its inoperable and waiting to see my oncologists on the 8th of jan to find out if there is anything they can do now :/ so modeling now may be over for me
  8. Wow the camel looks lovely indeed. The rs im not sure about. first things first need to assemble it to find out whats missing apart from the engine and exhaust so there will be a list of things to buy before I get round to paintwork haha. That's something I wanted to find out about with the se5a some pictures show riveting near the front cabanes and I was also wondering I may get away with removing the paint and adding some plating. the wood work and covering is spot on it just seems the paints gave up ghost after many years of service
  9. Here we go the pics.... as you can see both wings have had some major repairs done to both left up n lower wing panels. both right wing panels are absolutely flawless. Need to find some scale drawings of it so I can try keep it looking scale once I come to adding the detailing and need info on the rigging wires because this model was built with them.
